Get ready for a power hungry processor! Intel’s upcoming flagship Core Ultra 9 285K, codenamed ‘Arrow Lake-S’, is making waves in the tech world with its massive power consumption. Leaks have revealed that this processor, designed to be a performance king, can devour up to 370W of power when pushed to its limits.
These leaked benchmarks, coming from prominent tech leakers ‘I_Leak_VN’ and ‘HXL’ on X, showcase the 285K’s performance prowess. When running a multi-core Cinebench R23 benchmark, the processor achieved a score of 42,286 points at stock settings, consuming roughly 280W. With a 250W power limit, the score jumped to 45,563 points, but the power consumption climbed to around 350W. It’s when the 285K was paired with exotic cooling that things got truly interesting. The benchmark score reached 46,289 points, but the power usage soared to a whopping 370W.
This aggressive power consumption raises questions about the practicality of such a high-performance processor. Will cooling solutions be able to handle the heat? Will this impact system design and power requirements for users? These are all questions that need to be answered as we get closer to the launch of the Core Ultra 9 285K.
The race for desktop processor supremacy continues with AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D slated to launch in November. With Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K on the horizon, we can expect a fierce battle between these two giants. While AMD’s processor focuses on optimized gaming performance, Intel’s 285K appears to be aimed at pushing the boundaries of multi-core performance. This showdown is sure to be a fascinating one, offering consumers exciting options and pushing the limits of what’s possible in desktop computing.
